24 hour protein urine test

Hello everybody!

I've just received my 24 hour urine test, and the result for protein is 3825. My rheumatologist prescribe the test because for two consecutive month my protein in urine was positive ++. Should I be worried because the range is <150. Has anyone face the same problem? Do you think I'm having a kidney problem or something like that,I'm really afraid of dialysis. If someone can help. It's only next week that I'm going to see my doctor.

Thank for helping

Hi pascalelupus ,

I'm afraid we are not medically trained here so I am not able to advise you about the result of your urine test. There are various possible causes of proteinuria and your doctor may want to request more tests.

If you would like some information about lupus and the kidneys, we have a booklet which you can read or download at lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...
